New BC Features October 2021 Wave 2
Dynamics 365 Business Central has two major releases a year called Wave 1 and Wave2 with lots of anticipated features. The following are a couple of features that are being deployed in the October 2021 Wave 2 release that I feel some of the best new features.
Default line type in the sales and purchase documents
While performing demos this is one the of the most asked questions and now the feature is available and the details of the feature and how to utilize the feature. To setup the feature you can follow the Microsoft documentation which is stated below.
Sales and purchase documents can contain different types of lines, such as G/L Account, Item, Resource, or Fixed Asset. In this release you can select the default line type that will be suggested when you create new documents. You can specify the default type for sales on the Sales & Receivable Setup page, and for purchases on the Purchase & Payables Setup page, in the Document Default Line Type field. Afterward, the first line on the document will always use the default type that you specified, and you can start working with lines by selecting values in the No. field. Of course, you can change the type on the line if needed. If you do, the next lines that you create will use type from the previous line. The default value affects only the first line.
Unlock time sheets in Business Central using assisted setup and data entry on mobile devices
This next feature may not impress a lot of users, but those of us who use and need timesheets mobile this is a big win. This feature also allows Business Central out of the box to compete with other after market products.
A busy professional on the road using mobile devices (Android or iOS) needs to be able to provide time sheet entries in an easy and productive way while on the go.
You need to setup the mobile time sheets in Assisted Setup in Business Central.
The Time Sheet page has been converted from a worksheet to a document page, which makes it available on Business Central mobile devices (Android or IOS).
Mobile users can now add time-related entries to register time spent on tasks. They are no longer blocked by having to switch to a user interface on a desktop device. Users now have access to a simplified version of the experience designed for mobile.
